We were here for two weeks. The first week with our elderly in-laws and second week with our friend a who have two daughters. We have to children also aged 11 and 13. The Farmhouse for that's what it was great, nicely furnished although the double beds were very uncomfortable as the mattresses need changing. The cottage age is nicely furnished and well equiped. The views from the property are truly breathtaking overlooking the lake and surrounding countryside. The little village that you pass on the way up has a great little bar and a very small supermarket for your basic but if you need a full shop you will need to go to Rute about 20mins away. The pool area is lovely although not as close to the house as the photos would have you believe, but it's only up a few steps. We ould certainly recommend a stay here our only concern is that the advert does not clearly say that the farmhouse and the cottage need to be rented together at the time of booking. As it reads currently on Tripadvisor you think that you are booking it all when if fact the cottage cost extra so make sure you get confirmation from the owners when booking.

We loved this place, fantastic location, beautiful views, lovely accomodation. We had chosen the Iznajar location as it is about mid-way between Granada, Cordoba and Seville (not so much with Seville actually) and had intended to do much cultural sight seeing. In the end we visited Granada once as the villa and pool were such a comfortable place to be we just chilled out, talked, read, cooked and drank. Marvelous. There are numerous small but niggling things about the house such as the U bend on the bidet dries out giving rise to some awful smells (run the water in it until it refills), the door jams are spectacularly low but nothing major. Great value for money and a wonderful time was had by all. Oh, buy a map as the directions will not help you.

Fab setting friendly locals beautiful pool with amazing views. Villa is well equipped and very comfortable. We had a great time . Walk to restaurant a challenge but pleasant enough - water activities in lake great fun. Only thing I would say is that we advised to go to the supermarkets in Loja but the road to Loja is terrible and we much preferred going to Rute - slightly further but easier on the driver!
Thoroughly recommend this property - thank you

We have just returned from 2 weeks at this holiday home and what an amazing place.
The views are just breathtaking and the swimming pool very welcome in the hot sun.
The photographs really dont do this property justice it is so much more beautiful.
The only caution would be of your taking young children, the stairs in the properties are a little challenging for little legs and the pool is set away from the main buildings although it really didn't matter that much as it's still quite close.
Definitely would recommend this to friends and family we found it perfect for our family holiday.

We have just come back from 2 fabulous weeks at this lovely country farmhouse. There were 6 of us - 2 adults and 4 kids (ages 8 through 14).
The view overlooking lake Iznajar is breathtaking and the location of the property is secluded and not overlooked - surrounded by olive trees (this area is well known for it's olive oil and there is very little land not given up for this)
From the property, it takes about 20 minutes to get to Iznajar, 1 hour to Malaga/Torremolinas and about 1hr 20 mins to Cordoba (currently, with roadworks/diversions). Although - the accommodation was so comfortable and the pool so inviting - we only left the property 3 or 4 times!
There is a local bar in Fuente Del Conde (Antonio's) that does Tapas and other food - about 3 or 4 minutes drive. Or 30 mins walk (downhill - 40 mins walk uphill, after a few beers). Very nice vibe.
There are lots of restaurants dotted around with recommendations in the guest notes - including Antonio's (although, I have to be honest - we ate out 4 or 5 times at different restaurants, but we didn't have a single memorable meal).
Iznajar has a huge lake/reservoir (that you can see as you are descending in the plane to Malagar aiport). There are a couple of bars/restaurants attached to a campsite and activities offered (kayaking, pedallos, sailing, swimming, cycling, windsurfing). The activities are v cheap and the organisers (found in the little office next to the main bar) are very helpful - if a little disorganised. Really great for kids. Speak to Jesus (pronounced Hey-Zoos) - he'll help you out!
Regarding info/booking/payment/etc - the owner, Louise, was very nice and extremely helpful/straightforward to deal with.
We had a thoroughly lovely time just hanging out and relaxing. Would definitely recommend.

First time trip to Iznajar and we was not disapointed. The swimming pool must have the best view in the area ( I kid you not) . The owners are both informative and helpful with local ammenties and places to visit. We visited a few local villages and towns and stumbled into a local fiesta and had a brilliant time.
